Commissa — Sales-Commission Calculator (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) vs. renting SaaS

Penny-exact commission statements — flat, tiered, or per-category — owned outright.

The subscription math

Commissa — Sales-Commission Calculator (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) — yours
$69.00
one-time · self-hosted · your data, your server
Buy once
QuotaPath — rented
Growth $35/user/month and Premium $50/user/month, each plus a monthly platform fee [1]
Break-even: 1 months of QuotaPath equals the one-time price.
Assumption: Per-seat plus a platform fee; figure shown for a 3-rep team before the fee. Enterprise rivals (Spiff, CaptivateIQ) are quote-gated. Commissa computes the same statements once, on your server.

Savings calculator

SaaS figures use the cited plan price above (see the sources below); per-seat plans scale by the seat count from the same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Why owning beats renting here

  • One payment. No per-month, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
  • Your data stays on your server. Customer records never live in someone else's cloud.
  • No plan ceilings. Records, users, and usage are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
  • It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset out from under you.

Fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply — see the product page for honest limitations.
